Between Me and My Madam
Part 59's. The heart of Ello
Nia and Ello are now sitting in the park, but Nia is still keeping her distance from the man.
"what do you want to say El?"
"Nia, I'd like to take you to dinner with my family. Do you want to?" ello asked hesitantly, because Nia must be surprised she arrived to take Nia to dinner with her family.
"dinner...?" pekik Nia, she fell silent because it meant that she would meet both of Ello's parents.
"hem.. I want to introduce you to my Papa and Mama." replied Ello excitedly.
Nia looked at him softly, a gaze that seemed to ask about the purpose of her invitation that had arrived.
"Nia, can I be honest with you?" asked Ello who was now looking straight ahead at the flower in front of him.
"honest about what El?" ask Nia. He felt his heart beating faster, he felt something serious from Ello's words.
"i.a.a.I love you Nia, do you want to be my life partner?" ello said with trembling hands and feet. He felt a cold heat as he admitted about his feelings for Nia honestly.
"i.i.i..." Nia. He did not know what to answer to Ello, while his heart also wanted to learn to accept the presence of Ello.
"you don't have to answer now, I know how you feel. But I was relieved to have expressed my pent-up feelings long ago!" he said with a bitter smile.
"do you mean you have feelings for me? Since when is El?" asked Nia who was now tilting her seat to look seriously at the man's face.
"there's been a guy who's expressed feelings for you, and you said you didn't want to date before you graduated college. Since then I've been waiting for you to graduate from college, but after I graduated I didn't see you anymore." Ello admitted his feelings.
"weren't you and Sinta..." Nia fell silent and turned back to Ello.
"me and Sinta are indeed dating Nia. But honestly I don't love him, I just want to make you jealous but in fact you never feel the slightest bit jealous" said Ello with a little disappointed.
"so you're playing Sinta El?" nia asked a little disappointed, the man she thought was kind actually hurt a woman.
"wait for me to clear everything up" Ello said. Then he told me everything about Sinta, he didn't mean to play Sinta. Because Sinta honestly knows how Ello feels about Nia until Sinta chooses to end her relationship with Ello well and has Ello fight for Nia.
But after graduating from college, Ello never met Nia until Ello still harbored his feelings until now. And when she heard Nia was married honestly her heart was broken to pieces, what else married a breng sek man like Alan.
She doesn't want to lose her love again, and this is her chance to express her pending feelings first.
"El, thank you for loving me with all your heart until this very moment. But El, I'm a widow!" nia is sick.
"how about your parents, no parent would want their child to marry a widow like me!" nia said and turned her eyes away from Ello. She shed her tears, she didn't want Ello to know she was crying.
"The father invited you to come home tonight!"
"do you know I'm a widow?" asked Nia without looking.
"of course he knows" replied Ello lightly.
Nia wiped away her tears, there was a hint of relief in her heart when she heard Papa Ello know her status and wanted to invite her home.
"the next night I'll pick her up, Om Ilham will agree to it." she doesn't care about Nia's protests. And immediately take Nia back to the store, and ask Mr. Ilham's permission.
Mr. Ilham gladly agreed to Ello's invitation to Nia. For him this is a good start for Nia, he felt happy because Nia was willing to open her heart again.

At night Ello who has now opened the car door for Nia to come out. But Nia was still sitting inside and reluctant to come out.
"i'm afraid El, your Mama and your Papa don't like me!" said Nia who was still sitting in the car.
"who said I told you. If the one who invited you is my Papa, it means my Papa will accept you Nia.." persuaded Ello.
"alright.." said Nia doubtfully. He went down and entered the house of the Sanjaya family that looks magnificent.
His heart was pounding, his body and legs felt limp. She was afraid that Papa or Mama Ello would reject her and dislike her.
"evening Pa Ma, this is Nia who I told you about yesterday!" Ello introduces Nia to both her parents.
"beautiful.." praised Mr. Sanjaya. Ms. Sanjaya was still engrossed in observing Nia's appearance from top to bottom.
"Nia Om's...Aunty.." greet Nia by slapping her palms together.
"ayo Nia, we're having dinner. Oma was already hungry." exclaimed Oma and immediately held Nia's hand towards the dining room.
They immediately sat in the dining room, and left Bu Sanjaya who was still in his place earlier.
"it's Ello's choice." muttered Bu Sanjaya with her cynical smile. Then walked up to the others to the dining room.
